A Brooklyn judge yesterday said the names of jurors deciding the fate of the two reputed mob cops will not be kept a secret and that they have nothing to fear by being part of a Mafia trial.

But, federal Judge Jack Weinstein also ruled that only prosecutors and lawyers for ex-NYPD detectives Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa will know their identities.

“For over half a millennium, jurors have made their decision in public then have gone home,” said Weinstein.

The Brooklyn U.S. Attorney’s Office asked for the anonymous jury because of the intense media coverage the case has received and, more importantly, because the duo is charged with using their position within the NYPD to divulge confidential information to the Luchese crime family.

That intelligence was used to commit eight gangland rubouts, according to authorities. (p. 5 Metro)
